Latest Acquisitions (2023)

That was a hell of a lot for a book then

It was expensive, but it is a hardcover book of over 700 pages, approximately Letter-size (the American equivalent of A4, slightly shorter and wider). Second-hand prices for this book were even worse until the reprints came out in 2015 — €/$/£200+ was not unheard-of. (The Stuart book from the same series was the worst of all: a second-hand book store in my area had a copy that they wanted €450 for, maybe ten years ago. When I asked if that was right, the proprietor told me yes, that was about the going rate for it according to his research … Needless to say, I passed on it.)

and the postage was extortionate…..

International postage, it was mailed to an address in The Hague.

Just be creative and I’m sure it’ll come to you……

I see Richard also found their sales!

I've had this as well - A large sheet folded into an A5 envelope. It's not necessarily lost! I took the folded part & separted it from it's neighbours. I taped the part to a flat surface. I then used a thin piece of cotton, dampened VERY lightly with water. This is placed over the bend. Very carefully run the tip of a hot iron over the damp cotton - this creates a little steam & will reduce the fold. Do this very gently, and in very short strokes, don't let the cotton move, as this may smear the finish on the veneer. I did this to recover an unusable part, so I didn't have anything to lose ( it was a 1/700 Bismarck deck ). It may take a few attempts & you may lose the glue on the back of the veneer, and need to attend to this. Good Luck!!

A couple of bits turned up Yesterday.

Took a bit longer that hoped. The shop 'sold out' so it was late being sent.

Could not resist this one either....

Uh Oh!!! Sounds like stash building to me Ian!!!............

I got these last week, straight out of Prague...Daniel has some great stuff and not overpriced too,


Yea, I'm getting lazy in my old age and these just seemed to fit the bill. I just have to decide which one to use for the Halberstadt...

Prost

Just a couple of little guys for me...

The 109 pilot is for the Eduard kit, mine's a Revell offering,but I reckon he can be made to fit :nerd:,
The Japanese chap is for the GB...

Both look to be very nicely detailed, looking forward to using them soon :thumb2:.

PJ Productions figure looks good..... I've used a couple of their 1/72 figures (Luftwaffe and RAF) one was much better than the other though
